President Obama’s approval ratings have climbed from 39% to 43.5% per RCP averages since Christie took over the front page. Christie has been great news for Democrats.

Do you think Mr. O'Reilly will bring up Gov. Christie in his President Obama interview ?

Re: Christie Linked to Knowledge of Shut Lanes

Kind of what I'm thinking too. I won't believe it until I see it. There seems to be a bit of pile-on mentality going. I'd rather see the evidence than the accusations.

TBH, if he did play part, he deserves condemnation for this petty bullishness but I'm much more concerned with the Sandy money and if it was used in the same petty political payback manner. I mean, if people suffered after that natural disaster simply due to his payback maneauvers... he needs to go down and go down hard. But like the bridge closures... I won't believe it until I see the evidence.

Re: Christie Linked to Knowledge of Shut Lanes

I'm not a big fan of Christie, and I don't claim like others do to know what actually happened here - who knew what, who made decisions, and when - but assuming the worst and assuming that Christie had the power and ordered some lane closures on this bridge, can someone please explain what is illegal about this? And if there's nothing illegal, what's with all the talk of impeachment or forced resignation?

I don't know what O'Reilly will do. I am not really interested to find out either. I know what I like about Obama and what I don't like and being as old as I am, I am fairly set in my opinions by now. I do not need any reinforcement one way or the other to cement my views.

This Reform Party member thinks it is high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first and their political party further down the line. But for way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

It's criminal to use public resources to exact revenge and target thousands of civilians. Abuse of Power.
